美国人在讲话和写文章的时候经常用一些和人体各部份有关系的成语或俗语。今天我们就说说“脖子”吧！
1. To me, the worst pain in the neck is somebody who sits behind me in a movie theater and talks to his friends all the time the picture is on.
对我来说，最讨厌的事儿就是在电影开演的时候坐在我后面的人跟他同伴老聊个没完。
2. I broke my neck trying to raise you kids and look at the way you pay me back! One son in jail, the other too lazy to work and my daughter ran away with her hairdresser.
我累死累活的把你们抚养成人，看看你们是怎么报答我的？一个儿子坐牢，另一个太懒不愿意工作，女儿竟然跟理发师私奔了！
3. I feel sorry for Miss Jones who teaches that second grade class. She has such noisy, unruly kids that she must feel like wringing their necks every day.
我可真同情教二年级的琼斯小姐。她教的那些孩子天天吵吵闹闹、无法无天的，我想她每天简直都恨不得掐断他们的脖子。
4. I'd rather not be in debt - I don't want that millstone around my neck.
我不愿意负债，我可不愿意背负那个负担。

我为什么就应该冒险为她去做这些事？她又为我做过什么？
